I've seen elsewhere people saying 2015 is one of the worst years for metal ever, do people really think like that? Or are they just fans of mainstream metal ignoring the underground?

I'm always behind and buying shit from one or two years ago, but I feel like there's been some great stuff this year.

also the dude recommended me the King Woman EP which is some sweet doom

Yeah, that's a great EP! Their Dove/Fond Affections tape EP is also worth checking out.

Looks like whiney is the only one here who thinks 2015 sucks for metal then

Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 05:16 (eight years ago) link

I found it pretty mediocre, but I also find myself moving further and further away from anything that could be considered even mainstream extreme metal with each passing year.

I feel last year was pretty weak, I had trouble even filling up a top 10 with records that I really loved. This year is excellent so far.

Siegbran, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link

I agree this year is considerably better than last year.

Not to be a false-ass pedant, but I thought the Misthyrming and the Dimesland came out in very late 2014?

Tom Violence, Thursday, 26 November 2015 14:27 (eight years ago) link

Nope, sorry, the Misthyrming came out in February. I think the Dimesland album was December of last year though.

Tom Violence, Thursday, 26 November 2015 14:28 (eight years ago) link

Would the other Jute Gyte album from thus year be eligible? I wont nominate it bcz Ive never got into Autechre and therefore opted to skip it, but someone else could maybe

Dimesland came out in very late 2014?

It just came out on CD on Crucial Blast. I guess it was digital-only before that, if that disqualifies it you'll be forcing me to build a time machine and nominate it last year.

Dodsferd - Wastes Of Life

Siegbran, Saturday, 28 November 2015 12:12 (eight years ago) link

so I've got room on my ballot (I assume), has there been any good long form stoner doom this year? I think the only stoner doom album I've heard this year was Clouds Taste Satanic.

Tom Violence, Saturday, 28 November 2015 22:57 (eight years ago) link

There was a new Monolord, i think

- For fans of for fans of Deathspell Omega, Funeral Mist, Aosoth, Ascension, Svartidaudi, Antaeus.

djmartian, Sunday, 29 November 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link

Quite like that Sunpocrisy, even though it's a bit shiny by my usual standards. And they really need to work on naming things, the band name and title are both pretty awful.

I thought I was pretty much done with post-metal actually, but I've heard a small handful of things this year that convinces me the genre still has legs. Just about.
